    About to Graduate

    TheCommuter replied to nursestudent15's topic in General Nursing

    Take whatever job you can get. Even new grads in southern CA who are educated at the BSN degree level are not securing their dream jobs. In addition, it is taking many months for some of them to find...

    TheCommuter replied to Noonpoon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that nursing is unlike other professions because nurses can and do thrive after having graduated from programs at podunk 'no name' schools. A top-25 school is imperative for those who...

    TheCommuter replied to Bostonnurse06's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The wound physician does not need to see all wounds. It would be silly for him/her to round on residents with simple skin tears, abrasions, open blisters, and so forth.Of course, wounds with more...

    7 months into my ADN program my long time employer doesn't want to work with my schedule

    TheCommuter replied to pandalovey's topic in LPN to RN

    It literally means they plan to terminate your employment as soon as a new staff member is hired and trained to replace you. Your soon-to-be former employer would probably lie to the unemployment...

    When do you throw in the towel and call it a wrap?

    TheCommuter replied to lilura's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    1. I would call into work on the days you will be vacationing. It is apparent that management and HR does not value you much, so do what you must. After all, the vacation is already paid for by you....

    TheCommuter replied to RubyRubyRuby's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in the United States? I am asking because we typically do not have endocrinology wards at hospitals here in the States. We do not even refer to our hospital floors and units as 'wards.'If the...
